Could have easily added another 3-4 goals to the 4-5 we should have had first half, but it is what it is.
Hopefully Havertz is now back back and doesn't disappear again for 4 weeks

Our best CF is fit enough to start again so we're putting him in midfield.

What I'd like to see more going forward (i.e. tomorrow) is Odegaard and Eze in the same side.
Eze vital in the final phase, Odegaard in every other.
Eze alone doesn't replace Odegaard and likewise.
Started just two games together, in total just 166!! shared minutes.
Eze LCM, Odegaard RCM.

Fair, but I think we also know by now that very little, which persists over time, isn't happening by design.
The FBs don't randomly appear in #10 spaces
The CBs don't randomly pass 50 times between each other
Odegaard / Zubimendi (goes for him as well) don't randomly slow play down

Odegaard - he has a lot of touches but not in dangerous areas.
He's one of the main culprits for slowing the tempo down by having 10 touches when 2 would do, often drifting inside from the right, touch touch touch, then turning back, touch touch touch and giving in back to Saka in exact same spot

This isn't to exonerate Zubimendi (who should still do better), but you'd want Saliba to realise that pass he's about to play (very badly), just isn't on.
Zubi is facing the wrong way, is already under pressure and on top it's played behind him.
Not at fault but didn't do anything right either

Main positive remains that City don't look great either.
City go to Spurs next (post CL game they need to win), then Anfield (post Carabao semi) then Fulham at home.
We have Leeds away, Sunderland home and Brentford away.
Not a gimme, but you probably need to be more than +4 away after those

Also, just a very friendly and polite question:
Why the fuck does Saka have to make way for Madueke?
Wasn't half of the Madueke appeal that he can play either side?
Let's rather shift our best attacker into a position he's not played in ages.

I'd personally just stop our FBs from taking prime #10 spaces either side and give them to our main creators.
But surely that's nonsense and just a coincidence that we don't create at all from open play while our star players are constantly pushed to the peripheries.

Well, at least we went very strong in midweek to win a game that meant absolutely nothing to us.

Individual error, but sometimes it's the consequence of the structure.
United to press quite well.
Fullbacks already pushing high, can't pass to them
Striker not playing so cant pass to him either.
Then Saliba feels forced to play a terrible ball into Zubimendi who responds in kind.
